2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.1L Diesel · F3 SCJ

The 2025‑06‑16 MOT at 30,275 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend; the earlier 2022‑06‑11 failure concerning an inoperative engine malfunction indicator was not repeated in subsequent tests, indicating that any prior fault has been corrected. The vehicle’s mileage has risen from 21,729 miles in June 2022 to 30,275 miles in June 2025, an average of roughly 3,360 miles per year, which aligns with its 2017 manufacture date and reflects light usage rather than intensive wear. The intervals between tests span 11‑13 months and show consistent incremental mileage, with no evidence of rapid accumulation or long periods of stagnation. A buyer should therefore focus on the components that previously exhibited concern: inspect the engine management system for any lingering fault codes, examine suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, binding or corrosion, verify brake discs and calipers for scoring, rust or binding, and assess the chassis and sills for structural rust. Tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition and exhaust emission levels should also be checked, as these consumables often reveal neglect despite low mileage.
